Title: Multivalent repressor of gene function
Inventor: BACHMAYER HELMUT
IPC: C12N15/49
Filed: 1990-05-23
Abstract: Transdominant repressors of viral gene phenotypic expression derived from the rev gene product of HIV-1 or the rex gene product of HTLV-1 and corresponding mutated genes are described', having the capability of repressing the Rev function in HIV-1 and/or the Rex function in HTLV-I and HTLV-II. Transient gene expression analysis of a series of missense and deletion mutants has been used. Some of the mutants found repress both the Rev and the Rex function and are thus active in more than one viral species. Transdominant viral mutants represent a promising new class of anti-viral agents. Cellular expression of these transdominant inhibitors may be used in such therapeutic approaches as intracellular immunization in order to protect cells against the deleterious effects of viral, e.g. HIV-1 infection.

Filed: 1987-04-01
Abstract: Method and apparatus for quieting the operation of a dot matrix printer by logically dividing the data to be printed among timed spaced printing passes. A matrix of data to be printed is stored in a memory. A slice of data is selected from the stored data and the number of dots to be printed simultaneously is reduced by logically allocating the data in each slice among complementary submatrices. Each submatrix of data is printed substantially aligned with each other submatrix in two passes of the print head across the print medium to represent the entire selected slice of data.

Inventor: KADAN PAUL
IPC: H01H9/34
Filed: 1994-08-22
Abstract: A switch has a fixed contact (5) secured to a contact strip (1) in the switch housing, a movable contact (2) pivoted in the switch housing and a conductor strip (3) which acts as a stop for the movable contact (2) in its OFF position. The space (8) between the contact strip (1) and the conductor strip (3) is bounded on both sides by plates (7). In the plates (7) there are three apertures (4) leading outwards from the space (8) bounded by the contact strip (1), the conductor strip (3) and the plates (7) into the spaces (11) between the plates (7) and the relevant walls (10) of the housing.

Title: A method of coding and decoding audio signals
Inventor: DIETZ MARTIN
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1996-11-21
Abstract: A method of encoding time-discrete audio signals comprises the steps of weighting the time-discrete audio signal by means of window functions overlapping each other so as to form blocks, the window functions producing blocks of a first length for signals varying weakly with time and blocks of a second length for signals varying strongly with time. A start window sequence is selected for the transition from windowing with blocks of the first length to windowing with blocks of the second length, whereas a stop window sequence is selected for the opposite transition. The start window sequence is selected from at least two different start window sequences having different lengths, whereas the stop window sequence is selected from at least two different stop window sequences having different lengths. A method of decoding blocks of encoded audio signals selects a suitable inverse transformation as well as a suitable synthesis window as a reaction to side information associated with each block.

Date May 4, 1995Hirudin is the most potent and specific thrombin inhibitor and is derived from the medicinal leech. It is reported to inhibit thrombin with an equilibrium dissociation constant (Ki) value of 2.2x10-14 M. synthetic thrombin inhibitors have been designed based on the hirudin sequence but with a dramatically reduced size. The bulky active site inhibitor segment, hirudin1-48, has been substituted by small non-substrate type active site inhibitors of thrombin, e.g., dansyl-Arg-(D-pipecolic acid). The linker segment has also been modified using a combination of  omega -amino acids to reduce the molecular weight but retaining sufficient length to span the two principal binding domains. Among the inhibitors designed, dansyl-Arg-(D-pipecolic acid)-(12-aminododecanoic acid)-4-aminobutyric acid)-Asp-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Ile-Pro-Glu-Glu-Ala-(L- beta -cyclohexylalamine)-(D-Glu)-OH (SEQ ID NO:45) showed the highest affinity and displays a competitive-type inhibition. The incorporation of the non-substrate type active site inhibitor segment and the linker of  omega -amino acids into the bivalent thrombin inhibitors not only improved in vitro thrombin inhibitory activity to the pM level, overcame proteolytic susceptibility at the level of the "normal" scissile bond and confered high in vivo activity.
